PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kimmo Peramaki (ranked 592 p4p, 2104 weight class) and Mehdi Kanaani (ranked 63 p4p, 210 weight class). Kanaani has chosen Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg - Nuthin' But A G Thang as his entrance music. Mehdi Kanaani struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.7lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
